The more traditional educational path to a role in practice management is to pursue your MBA after obtaining a degree in architecture. There are tons of good MBA programs around, many which can be attended at night while working during the day.

These programs are NOT specifically tailored to the challenges of the design industry, but the educational content still is highly useful and can, if you choose, give you the flexibility to branch out into real estate (where the money is better) once you have your degree.

As the old joke goes, what does the Architect with an M.Arch call the Architect with an MBA?
